In 2008, Le Nichoir admitted over 1,100 injured, orphaned or sick wild birds, and responded to over 5,000 telephone calls and 1,000 E-mails from all over Quebec. Each year, Le Nichoir holds this fundraiser in hopes of raising enough funds to continue to care, save and return so many birds back into the wild. Funds raised are used to pay for student staff, education, food, medication and equipment for bird care. Le Nichoir’s auction items can be seen by clicking on the Auction 2009 hyperlink on our website at www.lenichoir.org, some items include: a bird watching trip for two at Pointe Pelée, dinner at the Atwater Club with brew master Peter McAuslan and flying in a Cesna 152 to name a few.
